    Nice surprise! Pace Fun Dead spots

    When I went on Ninja, I thought it wouldn’t be intense, but BOY was I wrong. Please keep in mind that I am an aspiring enthusiast and have yet to get on a super high thrill coaster, so what may seem intense to me may differ for you. The lift hill is pretty short, and the drop is pretty gradual. There is no stomach dropping feeling like you get on some coasters, which is good for a family oriented coaster. The one thing that surprised me is how much speed the coaster picks up. You wind around and down the mountain with the wind blowing in your face and the trains swinging. When I rode Ninja, the ride was swinging a lot. There is one part at the end of the ride where the train hits a slight turn and swings 90 degrees or over, or at least when I rode it it did. Now comes one of the only downsides of the ride, which is the lift hill back to the station. It’s not really that bad, because it gives you time to laugh and talk about the ride. The restraints were fine, even though this is a coaster manufactured by Arrow. It also wasn’t super rough, but I was not really paying attention to how smooth the ride was. Overall, this is a very good coaster for families and thrill seekers alike. But don’t go in expecting something super tame, because as Magic Mountain says, Ninja is the black belt of roller coasters, or at least family coasters!
